Fellow activist,


Thanks in part to your support, NPP celebrated tremendous judicial election wins. Three Supreme Court justices and also the two judges who were standing for retention, on both the Superior and Commonwealth Courts, defeated dark money attempts to remove them from the bench. As a voting rights organization, NPP was proud to support the retention of Justices Wecht, Dougherty, and Donohue, and Judges Wojcik and Beck Dubow.

This is further proof of the power of our vote. Help us continue to engage Pennsylvanians heading into 2026 by pitching in $25 today.

Team NPP was on the ground providing civic education to Pennsylvania voters and encouraging them to vote YES to retain the justices and judges. Here is a look at what our tireless work accomplished: Knocked on more than 15,000 doors in the two weeks leading up to election day: Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, Beaver, Allegheny, Erie, York, Dauphin, Lehigh, and Northampton counties.
Provided Pennsylvanians with real-life examples of court cases heard at the PA Supreme Court, Superior Court, and Commonwealth Court to help make connections between the courts and their daily lives.Ran a full-page print advertisement in the Sunday edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer.Sent staff to more than 20 precincts across the Commonwealth as poll greeters on Election Day, encouraging voters to vote YES by providing judicial civic educational materials

If you haven’t heard the news yet, voter turnout across Pennsylvania in this year’s local, municipal, and judicial elections was remarkable! Statewide turnout was about 40%, but likely to increase once all ballots are counted. In many of the counties where our team was out knocking doors and engaging directly with voters, turnout numbers surged to historical levels compared to previous similar elections.


Here are just a few highlights:Montgomery County: 50.7% turnout — the highest ever recorded in a large Pennsylvania county during an odd-year municipal election.Philadelphia: 34% turnout, up from just 22% turnout four years ago.Bucks County: Nearly 50% turnout, a jump of about 7 percentage points from the last off-year election in 2023.Chester County: 47.73% turnout.Delaware County: 45.59% turnout.Allegheny County: 44.64% turnout.Beaver County: 42.30% turnout.

Separately from NPP’s Get-Out-The-Vote Program, NPP hosted 39 non-partisan Why Courts Matter community events across the Commonwealth. The “Why Courts and Judicial Elections Matter” presentations aimed to highlight the role of our state courts, cases heard at the appellate and intermediate appellate levels, and the historical context regarding attacks on the PA Supreme Court’s independence. Attendees left feeling the power of their votes, as Pennsylvania is one of only seven states that elects all of our judges and justices in partisan elections. This year’s judicial retention elections matter in protecting our rights and freedoms.


Our courts play a significant role in critical issues that impact our everyday lives, from reproductive rights to climate change, voting, redistricting, and many more. But, thankfully, PA voters turned out to fend off MAGA and keep our courts fair and independent.

With PA being a battleground state, these elections couldn’t have been more important, and this is only the beginning. Help us keep up the momentum to ensure voters are engaged and ready to make their voices heard in every single election by contributing $25 now.
